WSU to be First U.S. University to Acquire Powerful New X-ray Microscope

We’re excited to share that our friends at Washington State University will be the first U.S. university to have the ZEISS Xradia Ultra 810, a powerful new $1.7 million X-ray microscope with state-of-the-art 3D imaging capabilities.

When it arrives on campus this October, a powerful new $1.7 million X-ray microscope will help Washington State University scientists develop specialized materials for technologies such as self-healing roads, printable batteries and super-efficient solar cells…

“The Xradia Ultra will benefit established research programs, enable midcareer scientists to expand their research opportunities and provide students with valuable experience operating a state-of-the-art machine,” Lynn said. “We are very grateful to the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and JCDREAM for helping us acquire a scientific instrument that catapults WSU materials research and education to the next level.”
